How to change my code from dynamic start date to fixed date.

[MikaelB]

Hello.

I have websource, and function that imports currency exchange data and fills daily rates on table with genetated dates. I'm pretty new with PBI, so changing this line below is challenging for me.

Problem: Line below creates dates from current date to -365 days from current date.

Number.From(Date.AddDays(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()),-365))..Number.From(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()))

 
Question: How to change that line so, that starting date becomes fixed to 01/01/2019.

Thank you 🙂

Found the answer.

Number.From(#datetime(2019, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0))..Number.From(DateTime.Date(DateTime.LocalNow()))
